It's been ages since a rapper got shot, we were beginning to wonder what was up with them all. It's been reported, though, that Fabolous is in hospital after being shot in the thigh last night.
News is coming in that Fabolous is in a stable condition after an unknown gunman shot him in the thigh outside a garage in New York in the early hours of this morning. However, Fabolous and three friends have also been arrested for having two apparently unlicensed guns in their possession, but that's unimportant – we're just so glad that the rapper shooting drought has ended that we're willing to overlook the arrests, and also the fact that we don't have a bleeding clue who Fabolous actually is.
When a rapper gets shot it isn't so much news as something to set your watch by, such is the depressing regularity that it happens. Sometimes the shootings are tragic – like when Proof from D12 or a bodyguard of Busta Rhymes' getting murdered – other times they're less tragic, like when Suge Knight possibly shot himself in the leg or when Beanie Sigel was shot and then decided to give his statement via the medium of the performing arts. There's a middle ground too, and Obie Trice, Cam'ron and the fans shot outside a Kanye West concert all live there, along with – as far as we can tell – Fabolous who was shot last night as Forbes reports:
Rapper Fabolous was shot early Tuesday as he stood at a Manhattan parking garage, spurring a sequence of events that left him both hospitalised in stable condition and under arrest, police said.The rapper, whose legal name is John Jackson, was shot once in the thigh when a male with a gun approached him and three others and opened fire, police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wysokowski said. The four jumped into a vehicle and fled, attracting the attention of police. Officers stopped them and discovered two guns in the vehicle, both of which were apparently unlicensed, Wysokowski said. All four men were arrested, and charges were pending.
Now, if you're like us you're probably wondering who Fabolous is, and why on Earth he didn't consult a dictionary when he chose his name. However, thanks to a vigorous five-second bout of researching him on the internet, we've discovered that Fabolous has appeared on records by Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez and Christina Milian, a trait that Fabolous shares with every other rapper that has ever lived.
